    Default VZ Commodore HID Kit

    Hi all, Was considering buying a HID Kit for my VZ Commodore though not sure
    whether to buy a 55w or a 35w kit.

    Also does is there a difference between a slim ballast or a normal one?

    Has anyone installed an HID Kit for there VZ? i saw some tutorials on installing them for a different commodore not too sure how i would do it for my one.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    hey mate should just do a quick search it has been covered before. I think 55w may heat up to much for your headlights? unsure. Do a search I'm sure you'll find the info you need.

    Don't you have to have projector lenses or they burn out the headlight?
    I was looking into it myself for driving some country roads for work. If i wanted to do it prop i needed the SS or Calais headlights for running HID's.

    really?

    i had them in my sv6 for a year and a half and i never had a problem besides the fact that the 55w ballasts kept stuffing up.

    no problems from cops to jus occasional oncoming traffic highbeaming :P but that was with the 55w which was brighter than my 35w

    Not for me.. My 55w HIDs have been in coming up to 2 years now (they were in it before I bought them) and the only problem has been once the right one didnt light up, flicked it on and off a couple of times and it was fixed..


    OP should get some Phillips 90w

    Anyone with HIDs in reflector lenses is a douche. Don't do it, you car will be unroadworthy and you blind other drivers.
